During a car collision, the knee, thighbone, and hip can sustain a force no greater than 4000 N. Forces that exceed this amount

could cause dislocations or fractures. Assume that in a collision a knee stops when it hits the car's dashboard. Also assume that the mass of the body parts stopped by the knee is about 20% of the total body mass. The person with a mass of 65 kg is initially traveling at 18 m/s (40 mi/h).

Answer:

a) t = 0.0585 s  

b) s = 0.5265 m

Explanation:

Given:

- maximum possible force F = 4000 N

- mass of person = 65 kg

- mass of knees and other m = 0.2*65 = 13 kg

- initial velocity u = 18 m/s

- Final velocity v = 0

Find:

a) Minimum stopping time

b) Minimum stopping distance.

Solution:

Minimum stopping time can be evaluated by Newton's second law of motion. Where change in momentum per unit time is Average force experienced by the body:

                                   F = m*(v - u) / dt

                                   dt = 13*(0 - (-18)) / 4000

Hence ,                       dt = 0.0585                

       

Minimum stopping distance can be evaluated by using equation of motions and required deceleration is as follows:

                                  a = - 4000  / 13

                                  a = -307.692 m/s^2

And,

                                 s = (v^2 - u^2) / 2*a

                                 s = (0 - 18^2) / 2*(-307.692)

                                s = 0.5265 m  

Answer: The minimum stopping time and distance are t = 0.0585 s and s = 0.5265 m, respectively.

CaHeK987 [17]
<span>The American Southwest and northeastern Africa are the two sunniest regions of the world, with the U.S. city of Yuma, Arizona, taking the crown as the sunniest place on Earth. Yuma, located where the state borders both California and Mexico, receives more than 4,000 sunlight hours per year and averages 11 sunny hours per day over the course of the year. Following closely behind Yuma is another U.S. city -- Phoenix -- which receives an average of 3,872 sunlight hours a year. The third sunniest spot on Earth is Aswan, Egypt, which has an average of 3,863 sunlight hours every year and averages 10.6 sunny hours per day.</span>

Compare the frequency, wavelength, and radiant energy of yellow visible light to that of purple visible light.
dybincka [34]

Answer:

Violet has a higher frequency (approximately 7.5×1014 Hz 7.5 × 10 14 Hz ) than red light (approximately 4.3×1014 Hz 4.3 × 10 14 Hz ). Since the speed of both waves is the same, we infer that violet has a shorter wavelength (400 nm ) than red (700 nm ).

Margy is trying to improve her cardio endurance by performing an exercise in which she alternates walking and running 100.0 m ea
madreJ [45]
In order to answer this exercise you need to use the formulas

 S = Vo*t + (1/2)*a*t^2

Vf = Vo + at

The data will be given as

Vf = final velocity = ?

Vo = initial velocity = 1.4 m/s

a = acceleration = 0.20 m/s^2

s = displacement = 100m

And now you do the following:

100 = 1.4t + (1/2)*0.2*t^2

t = 25.388s

and

Vf = 1.4 + 0.2(25.388)

Vf = 6.5 m/s

So the answer you are looking for is 6.5 m/s
